đź’¨ Abstract

A Turkish court jailed 18 Istanbul municipality employees on corruption charges, including the mayor's chief of staff and water administration leaders. The move comes amid a crackdown on the opposition, with the mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, already jailed over corruption and terrorism charges. The arrests triggered protests, economic instability, and accusations of a politicized judiciary.
